Maybe I've just made too much stuff. I've made this some time ago but can't recall where it went. If I recall correctly, it was a paper gasket originally.

The 4 radius notches are the defining feature.

Help me play guess that seal!

hard to guess the OD

CV gasket would have 6 indents, not 4, no?

I edited my previous guess. I feel like I just saw this gasket recently but can't place it.

Edit. Nope too narrow for that

Could it be a fuel filler gasket and the holes did not get punched? They are about 4"

Oil filler cap gasket? 2" seems about right to fit inside the cap.

Now I'm going to have to check a cap, just need to locate one that I haven't swapped out. We have a slightly thicker version we made, that I"m currently using. Perhaps it's a copy of the original we did in Viton.

Ok, that explains it. We switched to a thicker Viton seal that actually seals very well.

What did you win ?

Hit me up if you want something you can use, I ll drop it out to you. Say something in the $30 range. Sound fair?
